Hyundai Creta: All you need to know

Update: Hyundai Creta launched in India at Rs 8.59 lakh

Here's a look at what you can expect from the upcoming Hyundai SUV:

Stylistically, the Creta follows Hyundai’s fluidic design language but with a more upright and rugged SUV stance. The Creta gets a fairly large bonnet to give it a more full-sized look and a robust front bumper and upright front grille. The rear gets a set of simple yet attractive tail-lamps while the lower portion of the car has been styled to look wider than the top to give it a planted look.

Inside, the Creta is expected to offer ample space with its 2590mm wheelbase. The dashboard is expected to share a few bits and pieces with other Hyundai models. 

The Creta will be available in six variants – Base, S, S+, SX, SX+ and SX(O). The Base variant will get standard features like rear AC vents, remote locking, a 12V power outlet, a four-speaker audio system and ABS. The top SX(O) variant will get additional features like six airbags, leather upholstery, keyless entry and go, a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system and 17-inch diamond cut alloy wheels.

Under the bonnet, the Creta will draw power from three engine options – a 1.6-litre petrol and a 1.4-litre and 1.6-litre diesels from the Verna. A six-speed manual gearbox will be standard across all variants, with only the SX+ variant also getting the option of a six-speed automatic.

The 1.6 petrol will be available in the Base, S and SX+ trims while the 1.4 diesel will be available on the Base, S and S+ variants. The 1.6-diesel, on the other hand, will be offered on the SX, SX+ and SX(O) variants.

The Creta will go up against the likes of the Renault Duster, Nissan Terrano and the upcoming Maruti S-Cross. Hyundai has prepared the SUV to offer a premium cabin to buyers with each variant loaded with features; a choice of a diesel automatic for trouble-free city driving will only add to its appeal. Prices for the new Hyundai Creta are expected to start around the Rs 9 lakh-mark (ex-showroom).
